We had a frost lastnight. Took extra precautions with all my young birds to make sure they could handle it. Gonna warm up a bit again, thank goodness. Not quite ready for this cold yet.

Ya - slight frost here, down to 37F - bit of a shock to wake up to! It warmed up nicely tho' put the chicks out around 10 and it was 68 by then. If you believe the weather peeps - some nice weather ahead....I'll check my crystal ball

Hi all!

I've been "missing the action" for awhile now. Like 113 "unread" posts. Not going to try catching up. Hope everyone has been ok.

A friend near me is trying to sell her young birchen Marans rooster and hen pair & I thought someone on here, perhaps @rancher hicks was looking for one a few months ago. So, I thought I'd mention it here in case anyone is interested. If so, contact either me or @Hilly78 - Chenango County.

I went through a major downsizing this past month, as the last few year's accumilation of "chicken math" had escalated to a point it was hard to have time for the animals plus regular responsibilities. I sold my ducks & over 70 chickens (including young pullets). While I still have a big flock, it's easier to manage now. I have a bunch of roosters & a few meat chickens left to process, but I'm considering taking them to a processor, just to get it done all at once.

I prepared for a frost, but didn't have one. Only a very light frost on the grass clippings from the neighbor's newly mowed orchard. I'm thankful we've not had a frost yet, because the garden did poorly this year. But, the late planted zucchini & yellow scallop squash is just now starting to produce.
Threat of one tonight as well.

That naked neck is so cute!! Wish I could have a rooster! The little silkies we got from you are still doing great and getting along with the original 5 well. Still get pecked from time to time but nothing awful. The blue isn’t crowing or anything so I’m thinking you were right in that she’s a she @FishMtFarm

Anyone here have Seramas? I’m thinking about getting a couple but the hubby is against it so definitely won’t want them in the house. Wondering how well they do in our winters? (I’m a bit north of Albany-near Saratoga and Clifton Park)
